Our adult family (6 Siblings and spouses) spent a week in early September, 2016 with Gerard and Karen Planche, owners of the MontFort Chateau near Sisteron, Provence, France. The photos on the VBRO give just a flavor of what the Chateau really offers. And for us part of that was not just the great rooms, swimming pool, woodburning oven, views over the town and countryside, but the incredible hosts. Our goals as a family were to take advantage of the culture, the community and the environment - visiting abbeys, churches, ruins; village markets, local restaurants and shops perfume making shows and chocolate factories; visit the gorges, hike in the hills, glider rides. Too much to do in a week, but with Gerard and Karen's guidance, we had a busy, enjoyable, lovely time doing all of the above. They are exceptional hosts, and are now our friends, whom I think we will have to visit again in Provence.
I wish we would have had a rainy day so we could have explored the Chateau a bit more - especially what Karen and Gerard had put into it - a great collection of records (French, Swiss, English music), a pool table, bocci court, and ample space to be either in a group or separate in the six bedrooms we had.
We rented cars in Marseille for our trip to MontFort and needed them for all of our day trips, and shopping needs. The village itself is quite unique on top of a hill (winding roads Z turns!) off a main road near the toll road - fast route to Marseille. We would recommend the Chateau Montfort to any group of family or friends.

The house is wonderfully tucked into a picturesque setting. As a couple, the home was very spacious and provided a great base for climbing at Ceuse and exploring some of the nearby towns (Tallard, Gap, Sisteron, Orpierre, etc). It should be noted that the house is not well situated for walking, and a vehicle is needed for basic groceries and other needs. That being said, there is a wonderful set of markets across from the airfield within a few minutes drive. Not at all the fault of our host, but construction on the drive below the hillside was ongoing and we were a little worried about the potential for a flat tire on our small rental car. Hopefully this will be completed soon. Finally, the WiFi was at times unreliable, but functioned fine for the majority of our stay. Sarah was a hands off host, but available when needed, exactly our preference! All in all, we'd definitely recommend this spot to others!

I highly recommend staying at David's place. David's family are one of the most welcoming people I know and their house is stunning. The place is exactly as described. The rooms are cozy, everything was clean, no bad surprise. We loved the way the house was decorated, you can easily say these people love life, food and art! There are tons of things to do in the area: i loved being able to go for a run around the 'plateau', going to the farmers markets, or simply chill in the village... It's a perfect place for a authentic French holiday. I would recommend it to anyone, and i would go back if i could!
